Hi all! I was recommended this site by a friend I borrowed a tent from last night. Glad to have found it! Hope you can give me some input on what I hope to be the first of many great hiking/camping excursions to come.
My girlfriend and me are attending a wedding in Cashiers this weekend and thought we'd make a little overnight camping trip out of it. We both might as well be new to hiking, although she's done Crowders Mountain and I did McAfee Knob last year. I'm confident in our abilities, but wouldn't want to do much more than maybe 6 or 7 miles roundtrip.
*Timeline*: Can't leave Charlotte until Friday at 2PM. Have to be back in Cashiers by Noon on Sunday at the latest (preferably earlier).
Obviously, that puts us at a disadvantage for getting any progress made before making a camp on Friday, or packing up a camp and getting back to the car on Sunday morning. I want to escape civilization for a while and am not really privy to the idea of a more 'commercial' campground, but am quite confined by the time restrictions, too, so it may be a better option.
Can anybody recommend something for us? Thanks in advance!
